“A truly scientific philosophy will be more humble, more piecemeal, more arduous, offering less glitter of outward mirage to flatter fallacious hopes, but more indifferent to fate, and more capable of accepting the world without the tyrannous imposition of our human and temporary demands.”

“A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble broken-hearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. Their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable and full of glory, is a humble broken-hearted joy, and leaves the Christian more poor in spirit, and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behaviour.”

“if you offer wisdom from a third party, it seems less arrogant and more acceptable.”

“The more refined and intellectual our needs become, the less they are capable of satiety.”

“The truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or their desire for more.”

“fear less,hope more;whine less,breathe more;talk less,say more;hate less,love more;den all good things wll b yours;”
